Social Welfare Bill 2020: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2020-12-16
============================================================

Gerard P. Craughwell (IND), Labour Panel

I will finish quickly. Senator Lombard is right that we need to get young people in here. In doing that, we need to ensure that we give those young people a career path that offers them alternatives.
I thank the Minister for taking the time to listen to this debate. I am not going to press the amendment. I believe the point is made and that we, as politicians, will be big enough to step back and examine the entire profession. I thank everybody for their contributions.
